I agree that every learning model is not for every student and yes, you have to know what works best for your individual kid.   Where traditional schools drill and cram information into students (often not such a bad thing for some), other models such as the expeditionary model create an atmosphere where the student actually takes the time to "learn" the material.  The problem is the "time" factor--actually learning the information takes time.  If the teacher travels down too many rabbit holes and does not focus on the most important parts of the curriculum, the students will fall behind their cohorts in more traditional learning programs. [b]The key is in the execution which is why you have to research carefully the operators of the program to make sure they know what the heck they are doin[/b]g.[/quote]

+1. Also supplement at home as necessary -- it is much more important to me that DC become a critical thinker and is happy in her learning environment than that she be able to spit out factoids. I anticipate supplementing a good bit of DC's education no matter what schools DC attends, to me that's part of being a parent.[/quote]
